Accelerated Science: GPU Cluster Case Study
October 22, 2015 by
A successful example of how a well-managed GPU cluster allowed scientist to focus on obtaining results comes from the Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (TUAT) results. A research group lead by Dr. Akinori Yamanaka develops computation models and simulates engineering materials, for a variety of applications, using HPC. Using Bright Cluster Manager, Dr. Yamanaka and his team were able to immediately focus on algorithm development and not burden the team with cluster administration issues.
